Show GENERAL STEAM COX COR ro RATioN A GREAT WESTERN from the coast investor general steam corporation ot of salt lake city utah is planning the lon at cedar city utah ot of the first unit ot of what will be an extensive iron and steel industry designed for that locality the first unit will consist of 0 an electric furnace with the capacity tor for the manufacture ef t tons long of steel per d day ay in C oli cof lection with this 9 plant jn t tb there e w will ill be construe constructed acted a loin low temperature r retort lor for the production ot of sponge iron cedar city to la located only miles from los log angeles and tidewater it Is in the heart ot what la is perhaps the greatest iron deVO a too the world the richness of their is evidenced by typical cs CI ailys showing from rom 60 to 72 per cent iron southern utah is remarkable for or being one of the lew few places in the united states wherein iron and real coal in almost inexhaustible quantities are found contiguous cedar valley in which is located cedar city Is in situated between the coal bearing range on the east and the iron mountains on the tha west more afore than acres of the coal lands adjacent to cedar city have been patented slid anil are now owned by general steam corporation the veins ot of coal underlying this fortna formation range in thickness from 6 toll beet they are ot of a highly volatile nature specially adapted for or steam purpose in the development ot of electric power included tn ia the above acreage in 1 the old mormon mine which has tor for many years yeara supplied the fuel tor for the people of this region but it la Is the vast iron holdings 0 ol 01 this company that are amazing A recent survey ot of the iron reserves owned by general steam corporation po ration discloses a tonnage ted by their engineer as exceeding tons it ta la contained in claims the greater part of this iron ore Is of hematite hemi tite quality in their preparation to enter the iron and steel industry this company has shown remarkable foresight they havle havie purchased more then than 1000 acres of land with au an ample supply of water ideally located tr for factory sites it is located near the airport on the outskirts ot of the cl city ty they have also made adequate filings tor for power purposes on the waters and power sites of coal creek and their filings have been granted plans plane have ibern comp complete letcO tor for the 1 he erection ot of a power plant at a favorable site on abal creek six sit miles up the canyon highway from cedar city the site is immediately beneath the discharge tunnel of the coal property above described coal for the steam boilers will bo be supplied direct front the mine to the power house at small cost it Is conceded that the power of the electric furnace will be pro vidad at a coat cat below 2 mills pey per K it II from the plant a transmission line will deliver the power to the factory over a distance ot of les 1638 than ten tell miles from this mine coal will be supplied also tor for the sponge iron plant much work has been done during the past several years to develop P processes recesses tor for reducing iron ores from low temperatures without fusion ot of the ore the results show that continued to page pace live five PT GENERAL STEAM corporation A GREAT WESTERN enterprise continued from first page low temperature reduction Is not only commercially feasible but produces a product I 1 in ll 11 every way more desirable that that derived from the blast furnace it consists in simply mixing the ho powdered iron iran ore with a reducing agent either solid or gas and bringing the mixture to a tern temperature pera ture sufficiently high to cause the reducing agent to extract oxygen from the ore but not high enough to fuse use the ore vp up to the present the low temperature pera ture process have not teen been utilized on a wide scale because of the thermal inefficiency of the reducing chamber with a specially designed appa apparatus fatus the patent for which general steam now holds they will attain a thermal efficiency as high as 15 95 per cent the high volatile coal above described Is remarkably mar kably suited for this purpose general steam corporation is assured that by reason of 0 the small cost of assembling the file raw material for or the manufacture of sponge iron and steel and the further tact fact that their electric rower will be produced perhaps more cheaply than anywhere else in america that they will be able to manufacture their product far below the cost of manufacturing
